[Tutor] gzip

[questions anon]

Hi All,
I am trying to decompress at gzipped netcdf file and place the decompressed
file in the same folder without the *.gz extension. I am using gzip. If I
use the following code nothing happens.

import gzip
filepath="D:/test/surfacetemp.nc.gz"
compresseddata=gzip.open(filepath, "rb")
file_content=compresseddata.read()

How can I output the decompressed file? something like:
output=file_content.write(filepath[:-3])

thanks
